Listed as Unisex (leans male)
“A friend of mine paid £250 and told me he is totally disappointed by its performance, I didn't believe him until I tried it myself and longevity is less than 1 hour at best. It's ridiculous.I knew TF doesn't last long but less than 1 hour is totally unacceptable.I really love the scent profile, probably one of favorite. But with this performance it doesn't make sense at all.”
“On my skin this smells like Char Siu pork with strong star anise and an extra serving of Hoisin sauce. Char Siu pork is tender pork slices that taste sweet and slightly spicy. The leather note smells like pig roasted over a wooden fire. That smells mouthwatering on food but not something I want my skin to smell like. Upon drydown there was this lingering hint of black pepper. This smells great on certain friends but really strange on me.”
“This fragrance is a hit or miss for most people. Not blind buy safe and certainly severely overpriced for the scent profile.I had this fragrance back in 2021 and recently got a dupe from Maison Alhambra that smells the same for €30.Smell it first, and if you like it, save yourself €500 and get a dupe.”

Sillage
The Urban Man Elixir performs admirably in the top and middle notes but lacks the staying power and richness of Tom Ford's version. Sillage is comparable, but longevity falls short by approximately 2-3 hours, making it better suited for office wear than evening use.

The clone matches the original's structure well but lacks subtle depth in longevity, with noticeably reduced sillage in the final hours. The tobacco and leather notes are present but appear less refined, making the clone feel slightly more straightforward and less refined overall.

Sillage
The clone trades iris for geranium in the heart, resulting in slightly less complexity. Longevity and sillage are comparable, though the original's dry-down feels more layered and sophisticated.

The clone lacks the full floral sophistication of the original's heart notes, particularly missing the prominent jasmine element. Longevity and sillage are moderately reduced compared to Tom Ford's version, making it a budget-friendly but less impactful alternative.

The clone performs well in the opening and mid-stages but struggles with longevity and base note projection compared to the original. Dua's version is noticeably sweeter in the dry-down, lacking some of the sophisticated oud character that defines Fucking Fabulous.
